Microsoft Introduces Skype for Business and new 'PowerApps' Tool

Microsoft introduced Skype for business and an all new product called 'Microsoft PowerApps' today. Firstly, Microsoft's new video illustrates how Office 365 and Skype for Business, simplify all of your meeting essentials to just one relationship, one work stream, in the cloud and at a reduced cost.

Today, Microsoft announced the availability of several new Office 365 communications services designed to modernize voice, video, and meeting experiences, while saving companies substantial costs in their communication infrastructure. Organizations can now replace their legacy meeting and phone systems with innovative services built on the familiar Skype for Business experience, all naturally integrated within Office 365—the world's most-used collaboration and productivity platform. For more on this, check out Microsoft's Office Blog here.

On a second front, the company introduced Microsoft PowerApps, a new tool for business users that will allow them to build a custom app from scratch using templates rather then special coding on any device using Microsoft Office. To learn more about this development, see Microsoft's Official blog here.
